[Melatonin]

zounds! just when I thought I was done spending money on games for a while...

[Dr Mario Kart]

Also significant is the still pretty new Battle Fantasia is on there.

[CheapyD]

Ah, I just bought this and paid $10 more

Scene It? Lights, Camera, Action (http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-dw-49-en-70-2e0z.html) (360) ASIA US$ 29.92

[Draekon]

Rhythm Tengoku is in stock at the moment for around $30 before shipping.

[theflicker]

Hmm, this makes Coloris, Digidrive and Boundish bit Generations for GBA 7.43 each.

I'll have to consider those. I think I read that one of them is pretty much just Pong though.

[shuma gorath's pupil]

I like the matching color for the Wii, but I just don't use corded controllers anymore whenever I use the gamecube controller to play a game that supports it. I always use the wavebird. If they would just make an upgraded white wireless wavebird for the Wii that allows you to play games and navigate the Wii's menu with it, then I would definitely bite, but otherwise, I just don't see the need really.

[Monroeski]

Oh, curse my internet filter for blocking Play-Asia! I'm sure the few things I want, that are usually low stock anyway, will be gone by the time I get home (if they're even in stock to begin with).

[theflicker]

Hmm, this makes Coloris, Digidrive and Boundish bit Generations for GBA 7.43 each.

I'll have to consider those. I think I read that one of them is pretty much just Pong though.

Picking up all three knocked one down to 6.43. I picked up all 3 as well as the Famicom Mini (Classic NES) Legend of Zelda also for 7.43.

They have some other Famicom Mini games also discounted, but none that cheap. SMB is 20.xx unfortunately.

[EXStrike]

Octopus Catching?

Edit:
=O
The Chocobo's Dungeon Wii Soundtrack is on there.

Must get.

[NovaKane]

Just copped that Battle Fantasia for $44.57 (shipped).

EDIT: Damn, those white and silver PS3 controller looks sweet as hell. I still have two unopened Sixaxis controllers from last winter though. It's not much of a loss as they were $20 each shipped (Amazon), but I'd rather have different colors. Rumble is a plus ;)

[mkelehan]

when the site comes back up, can anyone who reads japanese let me know what size that windbreaker is?

[DirtRoadSport]

I'm trying to get the white GCN controller and Coloris right now. Site keeps fading out on me....

[doodofdoods]

nice prices, Amazon's spoiled me with no shipping/no tax though. kills me to see $34 shipping. Guess I'll have to take a couple games out and see if it's any better.

[Tricky]

I have been trying to place an order for the last 15 minutes with no luck.

[62t]

Rhythm Tengoku!

http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-cm-49-en-70-1fhv.html

nice but the DS version is coming at the end of the month

[Cmosfm]

Anyone have any import wii recommendations?

[Sporadic]

Jesus, their site is imploding.

[Omnislash124]

The shipping rates kill it for me. It's still good for import games though, but I don't know of many import games that are good to have.

[DirtRoadSport]

I have been trying to place an order for the last 15 minutes with no luck.

I got past shipping selection and am hoping I can put in a card # at some point...

[ep2011]

Wow, I ordered two games that are on the sale literally 1-2 weeks ago (DJ Max 2 and Initial D: Street Stage).

Do they do any price matching like Amazon does within 30 days? :(

[miniMacGuru]

No price match policy (and I just order stuff last week).
http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-00-3-helppricing-49-en.html

[kobunicus]

The octopus is not showing on the game I want. It's in stock and regular priced all the time. Dang it.

[Master Shake]

You can't use a coupon when there is a sale going on right?

[cranguy]

The shipping rates kill it for me. It's still good for import games though, but I don't know of many import games that are good to have.Um, really? $3 for shipping a game from Asia is really quite a bargain..

[EXStrike]

You can't use a coupon when there is a sale going on right?

Right. They don't let you double dip.

If you only have non-sale items in your cart, however, you can still use a coupon.

[SirChadlyOC]

I think this is finally enough to convince to buy Ouendan. I loved Elite Beat Agents, and I bought Ouendan 2 from YesAsia several months ago. While I'm at it, I think I'm going to add two Bit Generation games as well. Looks to be about $51.53 plus shipping for all three.

EDIT: Shipping costs $5.90, so the total will be $57.43. Gotta think about it a bit more before I pull the trigger. Any advice?

[briandadude]

PSP owners, I encourage you to pick up DJ Max Portable 2!

As far as the bit generations games go, meh. I have all but Boundish (the pong one) and my favorite ones are dotstream, orbital, and coloris.

I'm ordering DJ Max 2, but on the confirmation page there is a message warning that reads

Total value does not contain any duty & taxes for destinations outside Hong Kong. Please ALWAYS ask your local customs office if in doubt (Duty free import USA up to US$200, E.U. EUR 22). Duty & tax consists of your local GST/VAT rate and a processing fee.

I've never ordered from PA before, but there is no additional charge for my order is there?

Appreciate it.

[SirChadlyOC]

Yeah, i think as long as your order is less than $200, there shouldn't be any problems. I'll be in the same boat as you here pretty soon, though! :-)

[ep2011]

I've recieved three shipments from them. First about $7 and the other two ~$50 and no duty or any problems with the orders.

[SirChadlyOC]

As far as the bit generations games go, meh. I have all but Boundish (the pong one) and my favorite ones are dotstream, orbital, and coloris.

Uh oh. Dotstream and Orbital are out of stock, probably forever. I was going to grab Coloris and Digidrive. I suppose this might be my last chance to pick those up though, so I might as well, right?

[briandadude]

Uh oh. Dotstream and Orbital are out of stock, probably forever. I was going to grab Coloris and Digidrive. I suppose this might be my last chance to pick those up though, so I might as well, right?

Digidrive is very strange at first. You basically just direct incoming objects into a specific area (left, right, up, down), I played it for about a week when I got it. Coloris is cool but if you have any sort of color deficiency, you might want to pass as the differences between colors is often very subtle.

I doubt they will be any cheaper though! :)

[ryosnk]

Going to check this out later.

[gunm]

Ahhhh mother fuck er, I waited too long and now the only game I wanted is OOS/no longer qualified for the sale. Damn PA and their nazi sale rules :p

"Awwwww Bitch, all dese rulez!"

http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-z3-49-en-15-milestone-70-2hbi.html

altho the rumor has it that it will come to US... but I donno if I'd have faith in it...

I however... rockin this:

http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-9f-49-en-70-2hi4-4-6.html

[SirChadlyOC]

Welp, I confirmed my purchase. Thanks briandadude for all your help and recommendations!

[BigHow]

Sweet. Finally pulled the trigger on Rhythm Tengoku. I know the DS version is coming, but I wanted to try the GBA original too.

[briandadude]

Rhythm Tengoku is pretty good, although it really is just a collection of mini-games and the replay value isn't all that great. I would say it's OK for $30.

[DirtRoadSport]

Took over an hour but I finally got through!

[hiamiyumi]

Cool,
Got the Idol Master LE for X360 for the price I wanted to pay

[EXStrike]

Ordered:
White GameCube Controller
Chocobo Dungeon Wii Soundtrack
Coloris

for around ~$54 shipped. This is probably not the only purchase I'm going to make, as much as my wallet hates it.

I like shooters but not enough to buy that collection, I did get two games that I've been eyeing for a while...

Family Jockey - 22.xx
Crazy Climber Wii - 11.xx

[Strell]

Slide Adventure Mag Kid (http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-9g-49-en-70-21px-4-6.html) for 14.93, which is pretty good. It's a cute little game in a Katamari sort of way. Comes with this big controller that plugs into the GBA port, which essentially is like an optical sensor from a mouse, which you use to move the character around.

I'm picking up Rhythm Tengoku (which I've wanted FOREVER) and the Daigasso Band Brothers GBA expansion pack. Heading to Japan in about a week and a half, so probably will get the newer Daigasso, Tengoku, and Stafi 5 (assuming they are all released by then).

[ozzymandd]

Aw man, I love Play-Asia sales. I got Rhythm Tengoku, Coloris, and the Trusty Bell soundtrack with my first (of many) order.

The new Daigasso is already out.

There is a special place in hell for whoever ordered the last Xenogears OST while it was sitting in my cart.

[newlu]

picked up:
Gyakuten Saiban: Mask Vision Murder Case / Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
Gyakuten Saiban 3 / Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trials and Tribulations

$38.xx shipped

[InFlames215]

i just did i ordered a new ds jus because ur computer has spyware wich makes it run bad doesnt mean site is bad... iam offend because play-asia offers excellent service ad cheap import prices. thanks.


The site was having ALOT of problems earlier... plus, he wasn't saying the site was bad, but the servers can only handle so many logins\visits to the site and that is probably what caused the problems.

I beg of you, next time please don't reply negatively to someone else's message if you don't have any idea what you are talking about. You don't even know what spyware is.

[sonicspear64]

I'm pissed cause I just ordered that white GC controller a week ago. It's only a $7 difference now, but I could have bought dinner with the rest or something. ;)

I'm probably gonna end up getting SMT: Nocturne during the sale though and maybe ASH because it's cheap (it's cheap everywhere in Japan anyway...). :D

Also, for those in the Midwest, how long does it usually take to receive packages with the lowest shipping available?

[newlu]

How many days does it usually take to get your stuff via airmail?

[Master Shake]

How many days does it usually take to get your stuff via airmail?For me around 7-10 days.

[newlu]

For me around 7-10 days.
thanks!

[thesimplicity]

Are the any limitations to this sale (aside from the obvious stated in the OP)? A lot of the items I've checked out don't have the octopus and seem to be regularly priced. Also, I was really hoping to grab a Mint Green PSP with this, but I'm guessing it doesn't apply to hardware?

I don't know of any other restrictions but there could be more.

[ranmasama]

It seems that the gamecube controller is not on sale anymore.....not 100% sure. can anyone double check? Cause this the first time im on this playasia. I'm not entirely sure how this works.

[thesimplicity]

It has to be available to ship in 24 hours or else it won't apply and it doesn't work for hardware. I don't know of any other restrictions but there could be more.Gotcha, thanks.
So, since the white GCN controller is eligible, I'm guess that Play Asia has a different definition of 'hardware' than the typical US retailer.

[ranmasama]

Gotcha, thanks.
So, since the white GCN controller is eligible, I'm guess that Play Asia has a different definition of 'hardware' than the typical US retailer.

the white controller is saying 1 week for me.

[Master Shake]

the white controller is saying 1 week for me.Yeah that's why there is no discount.

[ranmasama]

Oh. I just found out the purple ones are 18.68.
Does the white or platinum ones have any differences from the purple? other than color obviously.

[y2kenjination]

Wow, some amazing deals...I'm gonna be freakin broke.

[ranmasama]

Oh. I just found out the purple ones are 18.68.

Now I just noticed. 10.30 shipping for 1 controller. Deal killer for me.

[sonicspear64]

Now I just noticed. 10.30 shipping for 1 controller. Deal killer for me.
That's the cheapest you can find a controller like that, unless you live in Japan or you're talking about the platinum one. The difference between the white controller and all the others is the 3m cord (about 10').

[moojuice]

http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-bj-49-en-15-Pump+It+Up+EXCEED+Portable+-70-1pfi.html

[wolfpackgamer]

Yeah the purple and platinum cube controllers are definitely not worth it, and white is a little overpriced for me without discount. I picked up a white dual shock 3 and ouendan 1. Wanted to add SMT: Nocturne to the order, but that was just a little too much, especially after passing on the Amazon DOTD.

[koyota]

Any resonable psp/ds/ps2 rpg deals anyone sees for North american games, for us folks that live in Japan?

[TheRodfather]

I also want to know the size of that windbreaker.

[Justin42]

geez, did every single popular jpop CD really sell out that fast?

I really need to get to bed but keep feeling like I'm missing some great deal!

[twen]

Considering DDR Universe 2, because the US version is only available in a bundle, which I don't want.

Edit: What I don't get tho, is the UPC matches the US version; can anyone confirm there's actually an asian version or whatever. Either way, I'll prolly order it.

[pinoyunggoy]

debating if i want a white dualshock 3 or a silver one. do i even need another dualshock 3? sigh...

[mberkes]

Any suggestions of import PS3 games, sweet figures, or movies? Anyone know if the re-released Siren would be worth it (as in, will it have english subs or menus or will I be screwed to play it if I ordered it)?

[eek626]

For some strange reason Initial D Extreme Stage (asian and japan version) is in stock but is not part of the 25% off sale..

[Logain8955]

Wow, Super Robot Taisen OG Gaiden Limited for 37....damn that's tempting.

[kaiyouske]

Wow, Super Robot Taisen OG Gaiden Limited for 37....damn that's tempting.

Shipping is like 11 something which bumps it to just under 50. In the end I decided not to get it.

[y2kenjination]

My order:

1 Gyakuten Saiban 3 (New Best Price! 2000) / Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trials and Tribulations US$ 14.93
1 The Idolm@ster: Live for You! [Limited Edition] US$ 44.93
1 Virtua Fighter 5 Live Arena US$ 37.42
1 Pump It Up EXCEED Portable US$ 9.68
1 Dreamcast Visual Memory Card VMS/VMU (clear blue) US$ 7.43
1 Shenmue Chapter 1: Yokosuka Japan $11.18

Also, I tried to use my $5 off coupon, but couldn't find a coupon input box for the life of me. I've shopped at Play-asia several times in the past, so I know I'm not smoking anything. =P Oh well...

Zekkyo Senshi Sakebrain (aka Exclamation Warriors), one of the Japan-exclusive Club Nintendo Limited Edition games, is only $22.43!

The white one has a longer cable.

Oh, screw that then.


I'll probably get the non-limited version though.

[rabbitt]

Final Fantasy Tactics A2 (http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-9g-49-en-70-26e4.html) is $22.43

[mberkes]

Too bad that's the japanese version or I would grab that deal

[rabbitt]

Too bad that's the japanese version or I would grab that deal

Yup. The English version is twice as much, which blows my mind.

[newlu]

Yup. The English version is twice as much, which blows my mind.
The japanese version's been out for a while hence the price drop

[Kirin Lemon]

I picked up Daigasso! Band Brothers Request Selection, since it goes for slightly more here in Japan. My Band Brothers collection is finally complete!

I've also noticed that Play-Asia's clearance prices almost always coincide with the games on clearance at Sofmap stores. Interesting.

[geehal]

damn shipping kills almost all of these deals.

[rabbitt]

The japanese version's been out for a while hence the price drop

While very true, what makes me guffaw is that they're charging $4 more for a game that you can get at the store, and that's before shipping.

[apple master]

I prefer a free shipping code..50 dollar shipping for drummania controller....

[matsam]

I just got Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne. $33.67 is a pretty good deal! Living in Canada, I couldn't have the $29.99 deal on amazon.com (amazon.ca doesn't have it...sheesh) and I've never seen the reprint in stores around here. Shipping was only 3 bucks.

[Logain8955]

I totally jumped on the Super Robot Wars: OG Gaiden non-limited for 22bucks. Extremely nice price. Animations in this game are freaking awesome.

[The Mana Knight]

i jumped on battle fantasia asian edition for ps3 $45 shipped is great

thanks opSame, I did too. I really, really want the game on PS3, so I went ahead and got it (if it comes stateside, at least it will by the time I make more money). I just really like the demo, and the deal is too good to pass up.

[BigHow]

Wow, that was crazy fast. I got my order yesterday.

My Optimus Prime iPod speakers are currently filling my office with the smooth sounds of Rick Astley. Rhythm Tengoku will be played tonight.

[Halo05]

While very true, what makes me guffaw is that they're charging $4 more for a game that you can get at the store, and that's before shipping.

You do realize they're in Hong Kong right? For them to stock a US version of a game, it has to travel from China (or wherever it's manufactured), to the US publisher of the game (in the US) then back across the ocean to Hong Kong.

[buckythekat]

White Gamecube Controller is back in stock and back on sale. 8-)
not sure on how long it lasted but they aren't in stock anymore

[ryanflucas]

I wonder if those new Sega Genesis/Mega Drive TV system units are eligible for this?

[EXStrike]

Just placed a second order (got paid today =D ), and dunno if it will be the last one:
Tales of Innocence
Zekkyo Senshi Sakebrain
Slide Adventure: Mag Kid

Picked up

Parodius Portable (Konami the Best) for psp $22.43.

[sonicspear64]

Just Tuesday night. By Wednesday morning, it wasn't in stock anymore.

[sonicspear64]

Now the controllers are in stock again. Hurry before they're picked dry in 2 or so hours!!! :D

[Monroeski]

Jumped on two white GC controllers and a white Dual Shock 3.

Never saw the opportunity to enter in a $5 off coupon I got from my last order, but I wanted to make sure the stuff didn't go out of stock so I passed on it.

[Milkyman]

why all the hype for a white cube controller? just cuz they match?

[rainking187]

Great, Play Asia is having a stroke or something and I had a bunch of stuff in my cart.

[FurryCurry]

So why aren't things staying on sale? This is really lame. I wanted to get Vampire Darkstalkers Chronicles and Sega Ages Treasure but they VDC went out of stock before I knew it.

Now it's back in stock and neither are on sale.

EDIT: Hell, it's still listed on the Summer Sale page but no price reduction.

[Jon Bon]

Thanks OP

The items must be listed as in stock, usually ships within 24hrs to get the 25% discount.

Grabbed Battle Fantasia for PS3 (WHY isn't 360 region free!?)

[gunm]

Held off on importing Battle Fantasia considering the uS version should have fixes and additional features.

[paddlefoot]

It looked like Digital Devil Saga 1 wasn't on sale. Is there a reason for this? Do you have to add it to your cart?

Sorry, I have never ordered from play-asia before

[The Mana Knight]

Held off on importing Battle Fantasia considering the uS version should have fixes and additional features.The 360 version is coming stateside. PS3 version, not too sure since I heard SCEA isn't too sure about letting it be released here (probably because it has no English voiceacting). Europe is getting the game though. Since I felt the price to import from Europe would be high, I decided to just get the Asia version.

Got aced out early on the PS3 White DualShock controllers. Out of stock. :bomb:Crap!

I checked several times a day for 2 days, until they were In Stock!

They arrived this morning!

W00t!:bouncy:

Anybody know anything about the Play-Asia return policy? After I first put in that order I mentioned a few days back, I had gone to "change your order" because I thought I was going to add something, but I ended up not adding it and just resubmitting the order unchanged. Soon afterwards, I got a couple of emails saying that two different orders had shipped, and sure enough it looks like I got double charged.

I don't know if I just got crossed up while I was in the "change your order" phase and actually made two orders, or if one of them somehow shipped while I was making the "changes" (which took all of about a minute and a half after the order was originally submitted) and I'm getting two due to a quirk in their system, but I'm going to try to send back one order.

Unfortunately, I can't check the website from behind a web filter at work, and I just moved so I don't have any internet access at home right now, otherwise I would just check myself.

If it costs too much to ship back to them, or they don't take returns, or whatever, those of you that missed out on the white dual shock 3 or the white GC controllers can look forward to my future posts in the buy/sell/trade forum. :D

Also, how long is the Summer Sale going on?

Good. Helps my resale if returning the stuff to Play Asia is too much of a hassle. :D

Ended up just buying:

Battle Fantasia (Japan edition -- not sure why I was picky about this.. Asia version should have been fine, and was $3-4 cheaper. I guess I was thinking of resale value if "The Best" only affects Japan, and not Asia. I wanted written material to be in Japanese rather than Chinese. I also wanted to avoid networking issues, since I have a Japanese PS3. Not sure if they are actually different at all.)

Magical Vacation, for GBA. Whatever, it was $5.99 and only added $2 to s/h.

Just received my order today.
Order placed on 7/14, not too shabby i guess.
